Our inaugural Lake Highlands podcast, featuring neighborhood blogger Carol Toler and columnist Ellen Raff, tackles three topics:
• The principal shake-up at Lake Highlands High School, with Walter Kelly moving to Highland Park and Joe Copeland taking the job at Carrollton. Toler tells us the latest, including the chances of a LH junior high principal moving to the high school.
• The upcoming wet-dry election and its potential impact on Lake Highlands — will it really benefit our neighborhood economically?
• The likelihood of parolees and the homeless moving to apartment complexes in our neighborhood. Raff points out why it might be an improvement over the current situation, and Toler examines whether Lake Highlands’ NIMBY stigma is warranted.
This is our first Lake Highlands podcast, so please bear with us — we’re still working out the kinks. I failed to introduce myself at the beginning of the recording (that’s me, Advocate editor Keri Mitchell, moderating the discussion), and we found ourselves pretty distracted at a couple of points in the podcast by unexpected noise. In fact, the first two people who email me (kmitchell@advocatemag.com) with the exact time my email alarm dings, I’ll send you an Advocate T-shirt. And — this one’s a little harder to hear — if you can tell me at what point a cart starts rolling down the hall, I’ll throw in a couple of chip clips and other goodies.
Please give us your feedback, and let us know what topics you’d like to tackle in the future. Look for the podcast every Tuesday morning on the Back Talk blog.
